It’s time to toss out the boring granola bars, skip the traditional big breakfast cleanup and forget about paying for drive-thru breakfast sandwiches anymore. Breakfast just got easier, simpler and more delicious with the compact, all-in-one Breakfast Master™ Skillet and Waffle Maker.

With two sets of interchangeable, nonstick grids, this skillet and waffle maker lets you enjoy waffles for breakfast, dessert or snack time or a delicious sandwiches, eggs & bacon or a savory omelet, any time of the day. What’s more, the top and bottom grids heat and brown foods quickly and evenly, so you don’t have to flip them over.

More efficient than a single skillet or stand-alone waffle maker and equipped with greater control over cooking than some breakfast makers, the Breakfast Master™ Skillet and Waffle Maker is portable and perfect for the breakfast lover, Sunday brunch or for everyday use.

Offers Two Ways to Cook

Can’t decide between a fluffy waffle, cheesy omelet, decadent French toast or eggs & crispy bacon for breakfast? Now you can have it all. The Breakfast Master™ Skillet and Waffle Maker comes equipped with removable grids that are easily interchangeable. Whichever way you decide to cook – waffles or skillet meal – changing the grids for either use is as simple as pressing two buttons – that’s all it takes.

The Skillet with More Cooking SkillFrying pans and griddles used to be the only equipment for cooking breakfast foods like omelets, bacon and sausage. But the problem is, they conduct heat from the bottom, so you have to flip food over to cook it evenly on both sides. Not so with the Breakfast Master™ Skillet and Waffle Maker. Its nonstick skillet and heated coverlid cook food on the top and the bottom simultaneously for a quick breakfast with a lot less effort.

Stuffed French Toast

1 large egg

1 large egg white

1 Tablespoon (15 ml) strawberry preserves

1 Tablespoon (15 ml) cream cheese

2 slices cinnamon bread

Preheat skillet grids on medium heat. Beat egg and egg white in medium bowl; set aside. Mix cream cheese and pecans in small bowl; spread on one slice of bread and spread strawberry preserves on remaining slice of bread. Make a sandwich by placing bread slices with filling sides together. Place sandwich in egg mixture for 2 minutes, then turn and soak for an additional 2 minutes. Add bread to skillet, close cover and cook 4 to 5 minutes or until cooked through. Serve with confectioners’ sugar or maple syrup, for savory taste. Serves: 1

Breakfast Trend on the RiseBreakfast isn’t called the most important meal of the day without good cause. Jumpstarting your day with a nutritious breakfast has shown to improve mental performance, give you energy and healthy carbohydrates and help reduce mindless snacking. What’s more, where breakfast is prepared and purchased has changed over the years. Instead of traditional breakfast meals, consumers are now having breakfast at all times of the day, reinterpreting breakfast foods in creative ways and cooking at home. “Most consumers make their breakfast at home both during the week (90%) as well as on weekends (84%)” *

PRODUCT TIPS

Before pouring batter into the skillet or waffle grid, always spray them with a small amount of nonstick cooking spray. The skillet is recommended to cook any foods that produce grease. Cooking times for skillet or waffle cooking are based on fresh or thawed ingredients. Waffle color and crispiness is determined by the heat of the temperature grids so the higher the temperature, the browner and crisper the waffle. If the cover of the waffle maker doesn’t lift up easily, let your waffle cook a little longer before lifting the lid again. For easy storage, let waffles cool; then pack in an airtight container and store in refrigerator or freezer for later reheating.
